@jcf I changed the installation directory so it should work now. /usr/bin/b2 is provided by the boost package in extra, so I named this binary bbb2 to avoid the conflict.

Since the source file (b2-linux) has the same name even though the file changes with each version, makepkg won't redownload it and the integrity change will fail. I think this is the reason for all the comments. I don't know of any workaround besides deleting the old b2-linux file.

Could you change the destination file to b2-linux-$pkgver to avoid this? E.g.

source=("b2-linux-${pkgver}"::"${url}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/b2-linux")

and update prepare() and package() accordingly.

Needed to run paru -Ssc to get passed the ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! error

Does anybody here see this error?

@ExBhal - It appears the correct SHA is the one in the PKGBUILD. Your build files might be out of date (mine were and I was encountering a bad checksum, too)

The checksum is wrong in the PKGBUILD. It should be:

b2sums=('c5038fbceb1bdf735ff7fcc1e6f987732973ac848b58a5e6b32b8c62e16f28a0b147954c095e65cc8a5e927ae740b1e554cbf4a8a6a49f8c32908f32ea487b73')

Currently doesn't build for me:

@jcf I changed the installation directory so it should work now. /usr/bin/b2 is provided by the boost package in extra, so I named this binary bbb2 to avoid the conflict.

This package installs the B2 executable into /usr/local/bin. From the Arch Linux wiki:

A lot of software installs files relative to the /usr/local directory, which should only be done if you are manually building from source.

I don't have that directory in my PATH so this didn't work out of the box for me.

Hm I don't know why you would be getting that. I just uninstalled it, cleared my cache, cleaned the package repo dir, then re-installed with makepkg with no issue.

Haven't looked into it beyond this error, but the hash for b2-linux seems invalid.
